Key message 1: isolated to scattered diurnal showers possible mainly in northeastern zones today and thu as a deep trough slowly moves across new england. Otherwise, drying trend to wrap up the week.
Northwest flow on the back side of a deep trough is promoting the development of stratocu across the northern mountains and laurel highlands. Outside of the stratocu, patchy fog has developed in some of the river valleys. Fog is expected to dissipate within a couple hours of sunrise. Otherwise, expect isolated diurnal showers later today, mainly in the northeast.
Stratocu has developed across the northern mountains and laurel highlands, with MVFR to IFR cigs at jst and bfd, and MVFR cigs at ipt and likely soon at unv. These clouds along with NW winds of 5-10 KTS will likely prevent much fog from developing over the western half of the central pennsylvania airspace. However, patchy fog has developed across the east, including at lns. Any fog will dissipate by 13Z.
A sct to bkn cu/stratocu layer will likely develop today beneath the upper low. Isolated showers are possible in the northeast. NW wind gusts will approach 20-25KTS during the afternoon.
Outlook...
Thu...improving conditions with lingering -shra. Patchy AM fog.
Fri...mainly VFR.
Sat and sun...patchy AM fog. Restrictions possible in isolated showers/storms mainly in the south.
